Female Novel
Chapter 1291
The intense pain caused the person to faint instantly, his face turning deathly pale, making him look no differentfrom a corpse.
Ian rubbed his sore ear. He didn't stop Luna and instead leaned leisurely against the wall, watching the dramaunfold with a relaxed demeanor.
The other men in black were completely stunned by that scene, unable to believe that Luna had actually takenaction in such a ruthless manner!
On the other hand, Luna, as if nothing had happened, indifferently withdrew her foot, coldly observing the groupof people who were left dumbfounded. "See that? That's what you call a life worth less than grass. His deathwould be no loss. If any of you wish to share his fate, feel free to make a fuss. I guarantee you'll all get a taste ofpain so unbearable you'll wish you were dead."
Her tone was calm, but her words sent a wave of terror through everyone present.
It was only then that those people realized the two individuals in the mansion were simply not ones they couldafford to provoke. Especially that man! These people must be that man's subordinates.
What they couldn't understand was why Luna was also helping. Judging from the situation just now, she seemedvery familiar with those outsiders. Could it be that she's also that man's accomplice? But isn't that man unrelatedto Phison? How come there are people from Phison protecting him?
Just as those people were trembling with fear and filled with uncertainty, Luna spoke again, her voice cold anddetached. "My patience is running thin. I don't want to hear any more nonsense. I'm giving you one last chance. Ifyou speak honestly, there might still be a glimmer of hope for you. But if you continue to babble and dodge, Iwon't mind dirtying my dagger to pry open your mouths. I'm curious to see just how stubborn you can be!"
A silence as profound as death ensued.
Aside from the one who had fainted, all the other men in black hung their heads in submission.
They knew they had no other choice. They didn't dare to provoke Luna, so they had no choice but to spilleverything honestly.
Meanwhile, Phone was woken up by a phone call.
She turned on the desk lamp, her face clouded as she answered the call. She immediately scolded that person onthe other line, "Do you know what time it is? Whatever it is, can't it wait until tomorrow? Must you disturbsomeone's peaceful sleep?"
On the other end of the line, Nicolas furrowed his brows, reporting directly, "Ms. Cox, there's been an incident.The situation doesn't look good."
Upon hearing the news, Phoebe sat up, furrowing her brows as she asked, "What happened? Speak clearly. Arethere complications with the situation on Wind Chime Island?"
"Yes. The group we sent to Wind Chime Island hasn't returned yet. We can't get in touch with anyone either. It'sas if they've vanished from the face of the earth. This isn't normal."
"Vanish from the face of the earth? How could that be possible!" Phoebe sobered up at once, her tone quitedisgruntled. Clearly, she hadn't yet grasped the gravity of the situation. "Besides, if you can't get in touch, can'tyou just send someone else to check it out? You can't even handle such a small matter. You're so useless!"
Nicolas' face darkened, his hands clenched into fists, swallowing his pride. "I've already sent people to investigatethe situation, but strangely, those few have also disappeared without a trace, and we can't get in touch with them. Isuspect they might have been discovered. Chances are, it's more likely to be bad news than good!"
Phoebe couldn't believe it. "What kind of joke are you telling? I asked you to hire so many people just to dealwith two small fries. How could they possibly fail?"
In her eyes, Neera, without her subordinates, was nothing to be afraid of.
As for Jean, a newcomer without any foundation or connections who didn't even have a trusted aide by his sidewas even less significant. Yet, now, Nicolas is telling me that all the people I hired could likely be completelywiped out? Isn't this the biggest joke ever?
Nicolas was also unsure of what was going on. Currently, there was no news at all, which left him feeling uneasy.He had a constant feeling that something bad was about to happen.
He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly voiced a doubt. "Ms. Cox, even though the head of the Gordon familydidn't bring anyone to Wind Chime Island, she has a good relationship with Lordsworth Estate. Could it bepossible that someone from Lordsworth Estate is secretly protecting her?"
"Lordsworth Estate?" Phoebe's breath hitched, only now remembering that Neera was not only backed by theGordon family. "But how could someone from Lordsworth Estate be protecting a member of Bartitsu Guildaround the clock? Even if she has some connections with Lordsworth Estate, it shouldn't go to this extent, right?" novelbin
Nicolas was puzzled as well. "I'm just suspicious. The current situation is unclear, but one thing is certain. Ourpeople who were sent out have encountered problems. So many have gone, and none have returned. There's noteven a shred of news, which indicates that there are definitely people protecting Ms. Garcia. However, all the
experts of the Gordon family have already followed Mr. Cox to carry out tasks on Adieu Island. Bartitsu Guildhas always been selfish. I've never heard of their upper echelon protecting any of their members. The onlypossibility is Lordsworth Estate's involvement. After all, they could openly challenge Mr. Lozano for the sake ofMs. Garcia. It shows how much they value Ms. Garcia. Hence, it's not impossible for them to send people toprotect her in secret."
Phoebe's expression gradually turned solemn after listening to that analysis. "What do we do now? If they getcaught, they might spill the truth!"
